East of Scotland Research Ethics Service (EoSRES)

Welcome to EoSRES!  We aim to provide information and support for researchers, students, healthcare professionals and the general public regarding research ethics

About Us

The service provides the administration support for two Research Ethics Committees (RECs), two Sub-committees and two Proportionate Review Committees.  The service is heavily involved in providing advice and support to novice and experienced researchers throughout their research career.

EoSRES spans three Health Boards, NHS Tayside, NHS Fife and NHS Forth Valley, working closely with their partner academic institutions the University of Abertay, Dundee, Stirling and St Andrews.

Annual reports for the Scottish Research Ethics Service are available on the NHS Research Scottish website (please click on the Annual reports for the Scottish Research Ethics Service link below).

In addition, for every application reviewed by a REC, a research summary, including the REC decision, is published on the Health Research Authority (HRA) website no earlier than 90 days after the date of the final opinion letter (please click on the HRA Research Summaries link below).
